You gain some experiences and world views as you live your life.

After almost 30 years, I am certain about certain things.

Let's go.
Compounding is really the eighth wonder of the world.

It works everywhere. All you need is a perspective.
Stay away from things that compound negatively. It's dangerous.
Minimalism and frugality are seriously underrated. No one talks about it because no one made money by being frugal.
Everyone must be financially free. There will never be a disgruntled employee.
Money is not everything.

You need money to have an opinion about money.
It's absolutely alright to not have ambitions. Just make sure you leave the world after a net positive contribution.
All you need to do is focus everyday on making your life better.

Doing better than yesterday.

1 day at a time.
Desires play with your mind.

There is one less thing to bother about, when you don't have desires.
There is no correct answer to how much is enough.

There is limited time and unlimited wealth. Picking time over enormous wealth is wise.
Spending time with your parents should be a priority.

You never know when it might be your last meal with them.
Introversion is a thing.
Corporate life usually sucks. But don't quit until you have enough.
Parenting is a skill. Never have kids if you cannot shoulder a 20 year responsibility.
Create jobs. Even if it means hiring a house-help. Pay them well. One way to make a contribution.
Your actions signal your personality.

Haggling with street vendors talks a lot about you.
Never borrow. Never take favors.

Lend. Do favors.
Don't taste luxury. Diderot effect is a thing.
Greatest assets are learning to read and write.
Don't expect. From friends or from family.
Be a human. Eat in a fixed window. Exercise everyday.
Don't speak until it adds value.
Travel slowly. There is no reward for ticking all countries.
Create multiple sources of income. Keep trying until you succeed.
Death is the ultimate equalizer. No one is immortal.
Personal finance, money, fitness, diet, stress management are skills one should learn
No one knows anything about tomorrow. Stop predicting.
Thinking in probability works. Always.
Reflect on your past failures and learn. Repeating positive outcomes. Cut negative outcomes.
You can get rich on a salary. Do what you want. Not everyone is meant to be an entrepreneur.
